San Francisco’s new water refill

Great news:

At San Francisco International, California, new water fountains shaped like soft-drink dispensers have been unveiled, making SFO the first major US airport to install the water-refill stations.

The question mark-shaped fountains, costing US$3,000 each, allow passengers to reclaim any water lost in security lanes, where TSA agents empty out bottles containing more than 3.4 ounces of liquid. It leaves the travellers with two options: refill their bottles at a regular fountain or sink or buy a new bottle for US$3.

With the new dispensers, passengers put their bottle under the spigot, press a button and watch tap water flow into the container. The company that supplies the machines, called Globaltap, has even thought to put a drain at the bottom of its GT1000 Bottle Filler so any excess water can be washed away (passengerterminaltoday.com)

If you’re in Denmark, near Kolding, take a look at their amazing library. It it’s nicely design and with functions that suits a modern information-house. (I’m sitting at one of the library’s many computers posting this post!)
